Voltron Verbs

Language Evolution

Some feedback has suggested that the language has evolved and this is how
it works now: verbs like "login" have a past tense of "logged in." This
is contrary to the behavior of the two regular verb types in the American
language, discussed earlier.

Strong verbs form a past tense by changing an internal vowel while weak
verbs take the suffix "-ed." Neither of these account for "login" becoming
"logged in" as a past tense. If the language has evolved then we must
consider a new verb type of regular verb.

New Type: Voltron Verbs

This new verb type is able to split apart and reform at will, depending
on the situation. The only possible name for such verbs is voltron verbs.
Such verbs share with Voltron the characteristics of splitting apart as well
as being hallmarks of the future, guides to a new era.

They also come in many forms. Just as Voltron has both vehicle and lion
forms, the voltron verbs have irregularities, like how "login" becomes
"logged in" but "cutover" becomes "cut over" instead of "cutted over." Voltron
can combine using different vehicle components, and voltron verbs combine using
different preposition components. Notice, too, that they are strongest when
combined; the imperative form for "login" and "shutdown" are "login" and
"shutdown," respectively. In that same way, Voltron is invincible when
combined. Finally, Voltron is the pinnacle of modern, but is an ancient
technology that was resurrected by young fighters to defend Arus. The
parallel with voltron verbs is obvious, considering their component parts
are all old words wielded by young people on web pages.

Voltron verbs encourage teamwork. They can accept new members to the team,
as "log in" can become "log me in" or "cut over" can become "cut the whole
scene over." This allows them, like Voltron, to adapt to new situations
and adopt new powers to make a stronger sentence. They have become the
protectors of the language.
